They are cold-blooded animals, so when they go into a shade, their body tmeperatures turn that shade's temperature. We humans are warm-blooded, so even in a shade our inside body temperature does not change.

Snakes can keep warm a number of ways if at night is what your asking when the temperature falls then rocks are a good way to store heat through the night, asphault on the road retains a lot of heat which is why you may see lots of snakes on the road at night.

snakes survive in the desert by living in deep hole the eat insects and other small animals they kill their prey by choking it out with their body they move very rapidly and fast and they adapt to their habitat pretty fast they live in deep holes and bunch their self together to keep warm from the night and they also live in holes to keep cool when it is hot outside. their bodies are also camoflauge to blend in with desert plants and dirt to keep predators away

A snake will keep warm by basking in the sunlight, wrapping around a warm/hot object, etc. It cannot maintain it's body temperature by itself.
